Answer 3

P.22 - §4 Of all the names by which God the Father is known throughout the universes, those which designate him as the First Source and the Universe Center are most often encountered. The First Father is known by various names in different universes and in different sectors of the same universe. The names which the creature assigns to the Creator are much dependent on the creature's concept of the Creator. The First Source and Universe Center has never revealed himself by name, only by nature. If we believe that we are the children of this Creator, it is only natural that we should eventually call him Father. But this is the name of our own choosing, and it grows out of the recognition of our personal relationship with the First Source and Center.

Answer 4

יהוה

Answer 5

it's YHWH, he already told me

Answer 6

I believe it is pronounced similar to 'Jehovah' except that the letter 'J' should be replaced with an 'I' (capital i) or a 'Y'.

When the letter 'J' was first introduced into the English alphebet, it was used as a capital letter 'i'.

Religions which believe in only one God should be able to refer to Him as that: God. If you are praying to God and there is only one God, you are talking to the correct One. If there is only one person in the area named John and you call out to 'John'; John knows that you are speaking to him.

This site talks about a substitute name for Jesus not Jehovah. So regardless of how you spell Jehovah's name, Psalms 83:18 in most english bibles tells us that His is spelled and pronounced as Jehovah.  

As long as Satan the Devil can mislead mankind, we will never feel truly untited until we begin to serve Jehovah whole souled.

Answer 8

God Has a Name!

What is God's name? Humans all have personal names. Why, many people even name their pets! Would it not be reasonable for God to have a name? Having and using personal names is unquestionably a vital part of human relationships and interactions. Should it be different when it comes to our relationship with God? Ironically, millions who profess faith in the God of the Bible do not use his personal name. Yet, God's name has been known for centuries. As you read this series of articles, learn of times when God's name was widely used. More important, learn what the Bible says about getting to know God by name.

BY THE 17th century, several European countries were minting coins featuring the name of God. A German coin minted in the year 1634 prominently featured the name Jehovah. Such coins became popularly known as the Jehovah talers, or Jehovah coins, and were circulated for decades.



The Tetragrammaton, meaning "four letters," spells out the personal name of God in Hebrew

Jehovah is a rendering of God's name that has been recognized for centuries. In Hebrew, a language that is read from right to left, the name appears as four consonants, . These four Hebrew characters—transliterated YHWH—are known as the Tetragrammaton. God's name in this form was also inscribed on European coins for decades.

God's name can also be found on buildings, monuments, and works of art as well as in many church hymns. According to the German Brockhaus encyclopedia, at one time it was customary for Protestant princes to wear an insignia composed of a stylized sun and the Tetragrammaton. The symbol, also used on flags and coins, was known as the Jehovah-Sun insignia. Clearly, the deeply religious Europeans of the 17th and 18th centuries knew that Almighty God had a name. More significantly, they were not afraid to use it.

The name of God was no mystery in Colonial America either. Consider, for example, the American Revolutionary soldier Ethan Allen. According to his memoirs, in 1775 he demanded that his enemies surrender "in the name of the Great Jehovah." Later, during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, several advisers made frequent mention of Jehovah in their letters to Lincoln. Other American historical documents containing the name of God are available for public review in many libraries. These are but a few examples of how the name of God has for centuries been prominently displayed.

What about today? Has the name of God been forgotten? Hardly. Various Bible translations feature the personal name of God in many verses. A quick visit to a library or a few minutes of research in your own dictionaries will likely reveal that the name Jehovah is widely accepted as the vernacular equivalent of the Tetragrammaton. For example, the Encyclopedia International pointedly defines the name Jehovah as the "modern form of the Hebrew sacred name of God." A recent edition of The New Encyclopædia Britannica explains that Jehovah is the "Judeo-Christian name for God."

'But,' you may wonder, 'is God's name a matter of concern to people today?' The name of God, in one form or another, is still featured in many public areas. For instance, the name Jehovah is inscribed on the cornerstone of a building in New York City. In the same city, the name has also been found in Hebrew in a colorful mosaic decorating a busy subway station. It is safe to say, however, that of the thousands of people who have walked by these locations, few have attached any significance to the inscriptions.

Is the name of God important to people in your part of the world? Or do most refer to the Creator as "God," as if this title were his actual name? Your personal observation might be that many people do not give any thought to whether God even has a name. What about you? Do you feel comfortable addressing God by his personal name, Jehovah?

  

  

A King Who Made Known the Name of Jehovah



King Kamehameha III



In 1852 a group of missionaries set out from Hawaii for the islands of Micronesia. They carried with them a letter of introduction that bore the official seal of King Kamehameha III, the then ruling monarch of the Hawaiian Islands. This letter, originally written in Hawaiian and addressed to the various rulers of the Pacific Islands, said in part: "There are about to sail for your islands some teachers of the Most High God, Jehovah, to make known unto you His Word for your eternal salvation. . . . I commend these good teachers to your esteem and friendship and exhort you to listen to their instructions. . . . I advise you to throw away your idols, take the Lord Jehovah for your God, worship and love Him and He will bless and save you."

Answer 9

God's name is Art Hallowed.  He told us all in the Lord's Prayer, which is in the bible, The gospel according to Mathhew, Chapter six, verse nine:

Our Father

who is Art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

How can anyone dispute that?  It's in the bible, so it must be true.  Chapter and verse, chapter and verse.  You could look it up!!  

Answer 10

I beleive God is the multiverse, which is male, so God has every mae name imaginable.  However God also exists as an embodiment of the multiverse, in a female form.  I used the name Emenechavvah (Em-min-nesh-sha-vah) taken fro a collection of hebrew words to mean "mother of all living things"  However, she might have any name imaginable.

The universe has similar roles, however the gender roles are reversed.

The universe is female, and has a male embodiment.

Answer 11

it's YHWH, pronounce Yahoo.

like in Eliyahoo (My God is Yahoo), Yermiyahoo, Ieshayahoo, Natanyahoo and Matityahoo.

I don't know of any Abwoon.

Answer 12

In Genesis 2:4 of the Bible, we have the first mention of God's personal name.

"“Jehovah.” Heb., יהוה (YHWH, here vowel-pointed as Yehwah′), meaning “He Causes to Become” (from Heb.,[ הוה ha·wah′, “to become”]) ; LXXA(Gr.), Ky′ri·os; Syr., Mar·ya’; Lat., Do′mi·nus. The first occurrence of God’s distinctive personal name,( יהוה YHWH); these four Heb. letters are referred to as the Tetragrammaton. The divine name identifies Jehovah as the Purposer. Only the true God could rightly and authentically bear this name." (NWT Reference Bible footnote, Gen 2:4)

Not sure about "Abwoon," but God's personal name is recorded in the pages of the Hebrew Scriptures of the Bible about 6826 times, if I remember correctly.

God's name is "יהוה" in Hebrew. It may be transliterated as the four consonants YHWH, and was likely pronounced as either "YaHoWaH" or "YaHWeH."

In English, the most common translation of this name is "Jehovah" (Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4 King James)

There is, of course, nothing wrong with using the "J" sound in English, just as there is nothing wrong with pronouncing "Yehoshua" as "Jesus" in English.

Regarding the exact pronunciation of this name, there is a bit of debate. We do know for certain how the first two consonants of the tetragrammaton ( יה , yohdh he') should be pronounced, because those same Hebrew characters are present in the beginning of the names of many men in the Bible whose names we already know how to pronounce. (see the link provided). The first two consonants are always pronouned the same way in Hebrew: Yaho or Jeho in English.

The controversy only comes when you get to the last two consonants of God's name (וה , waw he'). There has long been a question of whether or not these two consonants should create one syllable or two syllables. The one syllable path gives us YaHWeH, while the two syllable path gives us YaHoWaH.

I personally prefer the three syllable Yahowah/Jehovah, based on other research.

"The text located in the U.S.S.R., namely, the Codex Leningrad B 19A, used for Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), vowel-points the Tetragrammaton to read Yehwah′, Yehwih′ and a number of times Yeho·wah′, as in Ge 3:14. The edition of the Hebrew text by Ginsburg (Gins.) vowel-points YHWH to read Yeho·wah′." (NWT Appendix 1A)

So there is technically evidence supporting both translations.

But really, I think that either way would be acceptable to Him, as long as you're trying your hardest to get it right and use it in a way that will bring honor and glory to the name.

Answer 13

Well, we use names to identify the source so people will know what we are speaking of, a religion is suppose to teach and then allow the student to transcend that religion, as you know it doesn't always work this way, people get caught up in concepts and dogma.  

Answer 14

original text in the Bible was written in Hebrew therefore we don't know the correct pronouciation of God's personal name. YHWH is the direct translation of the hebrew langauge however the language leaves out vowels. many people  use jehovah for english. but remember different languages pronouce things differently but regardless God does have a name. Most Bibles make reference to God's name in Psalms 83:18.

Answer 15

The Bible has it in Hebrew called the Tetragramaton.  4 letters without vowels.  The nearest translation in English is YHWH or JHVH.  The King James Version calls it "Jehovah".  Yahweh is used in other translations.

Depending on the language, there are 99 ways to spell or pronounce that name.  Jehovah is just the most popular.

Regardless of the language, what is important is using that name.  As you said, John  or Susan either,  "Hey You" just will not do.

For those who claim to worship the most High God, Author of the Bible, titles will not do anymore than "Hey You".

The Lord's Prayer---"Haloed be thy name..." or "your name made known", is the first thing we are to ask for in prayer.
